Measurements were made of the sonic boom produced by the Concorde 002 aircraft during two supersonic flights. For both flights the aircraft was cruising at about Mach 2 at an altitude of about 52,000 feet. The overpressures measured indicated that, for a signature undistorted by atmospheric turbulence, the maximum overpressure on the ground was about 90 Pa for both flights. Ray paths and ground overpressure distributions were calculated using atmospheric data measured for each flight. (Author)
